Is anyone else bothered by the fact that our President rarely knows what's going on in his own administration? Responding to a heroic Philadelphia cop being shot by an ISIS sympathizer the White House acted as if they hadn't heard the story and said they have "no comment." "NO COMMENT"? Are you kidding me? Turn a darn news channel on you embarrassment of a leader and learn about it like you learned about your many scandals.

Here's a list of the scandals occurring under this President which the POTUS claims he learned about from the media:
-The Hillary Clinton email scandal
-The Fast & Furious gun running scandal
-The NSA spying on foreign leaders scandal
-The Petraeus scandal
-The IRS targeting of conservative groups
-The Department of Justice’s wiretapping of reporters at The Associated Press
-The Department of Justice's wiretapping of Fox News’ James Rosen
-The VA healthcare "waiting list" scandal
Isn't the President's feigned ignorance of what's going on under his nose, and on his watch, the biggest scandal of them all? How does the President of the United States not know that the government he presides over as its Chief Executive is failing in its most basic duties? How does the President of the United States have "no comment" when a cop with more bravery in his thumbnail than the POTUS has in his entire soul is nearly murdered in a major American city by a terrorist? Disgusting.

Sort of. I'm also bothered by the common lack of reason applied to that list of concerns after the fact by opponents, as well.

By the way, one small point. Not everything on your list qualifies as "Obama not knowing what's going on inside his own administration."

In particular, the attempted assassination of the police officer wasn't "in the Obama administration."

I am always bothered by people posting claims against particular people, about significant concerns, without showing where they got the claims. Another small item in this list, again, where are you seeing that Obama himself, or one of his official spokes people said they had "no comment" about the attack on the policeman? So that we can see the CONTEXT of the claimed "no comment" information?

But yes, sure, I've been watching politicians claim to be surprised by events and scandals on their watch since forever. The thing is, this isn't unique to Obama, or to any other administration. EVERY President has had stuff come up that they only learned about in the news.

Besides, would you prefer that a President say "Oh yeah, I knew that guy (who was appointed by my predecessor) was screwing around on his wife, AND revealing secure information to unapproved journalists, and I decided to wait until it was published to do anything"?
